The short answer

For a standard short stay, the Schengen Borders Code sets a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. Count every calendar day spent in the Schengen Area during the 180 days ending on the date you want to check. Arrival and departure both count.

Check your Schengen days

Add your stays and choose one date to inspect. To check one continuous future trip, add it as a stay and use its departure date as the date to inspect — that is when the trip's rolling count peaks.

What the calculator counts

Allowance: Up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period
Travel days: Arrival and departure each count as a full day
Countries: Trips across the Schengen Area share one total

The window is not tied to a calendar half-year. Move the date you are checking forward by one day and the 180-day look-back moves forward by one day too. That is why leaving Schengen does not immediately reset the count.

Simple example

A three-day visit uses three days

Arrive in Spain on 10 September and leave on 12 September: the 10th, 11th, and 12th all count. Moving from Spain to France during that visit does not create a new allowance because both countries are in the same Schengen total.

A late-night departure still uses that calendar day. If your flight leaves after midnight, use the new departure date even if you reached the airport the evening before.

Remaining inside an airport's international transit area is different from entering Schengen. If your connection requires you to cross passport control — including to continue on a Schengen flight or use a landside hotel — count the date you enter. Official airport-transit guidance explains the distinction.

When this number may not be enough

This tool applies the standard short-stay calculation. A visa can authorise fewer days, and long-stay visas, residence permits, bilateral arrangements, or special rights can change which days apply. Use the result as a planning check, then confirm unusual cases with the relevant authority.

If you have already used most of the allowance, read how the rolling window affects your next possible trip.

Schengen calculator questions

Do arrival and departure days both count?

Yes. The entry date is the first day of stay and the exit date is the last. A flight departing at 01:00 counts on that new calendar date.

Does an airport connection count as a Schengen day?

Not if you remain in the international transit area without entering Schengen. If you cross the external border or connect onward inside Schengen, count the calendar date you enter.

Can the free calculator check one planned trip?

Yes. Add one continuous proposed trip and check its departure date, when the rolling count for that trip is highest. Multiple proposed trips and earliest-return searches are easier in Stay90 Pro.

Should I enter trips outside Schengen?

No. Only enter days that count as presence in the Schengen Area for the standard short-stay rule.
